Ahn'Qiraj is a vast ancient city located in the desert of Silithus in the game World of Warcraft. It is known for its unique architecture and is home to the Qiraji, a race of insectoid creatures. The city is divided into two main areas: the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, each offering different challenges and rewards for players. The lore of Ahn'Qiraj is tied to the Old Gods, ancient and powerful beings that once sought to dominate the world. The city was sealed away to prevent the Qiraji from spreading their influence, but it was eventually reopened, leading to significant in-game events and battles, including the famous Gates of Ahn'Qiraj war effort.
